In the past if you went on holiday to Fiji, you had to take your Murdoch James Estate wines with you. I remember a holiday in Rakiraki where I took 2 cases to see me through (don't ask how long 2 cases lasted me and my mate Mike!). And a lot of excess baggage and customs duty paid too.

Well no more. Yesterday we agreed with Victoria Wines that they would import and distribute Murdoch James Estate wines in Fiji. They have 3 terrific retail shops with a very knowledgeable team. They also distribute to the wholesale trade as well, so we hope to see some Murdoch James wines on the wine lists of some of Fiji's great resorts.Click here for a link to their website.

Like Murdoch James Estate, Victoria Wines is also a family company that values great quality and enjoys sharing that with their
customers. The company name comes from the location of their very first shop 20 years ago on Victoria Parade, in Fiji’s capital city – Suva. They currently have two shops in the West, in Nadi and Denarau, and one
shop in Suva, with a second soon to open at the new Damodar complex
adjacent to the University of the South Pacific. With a dedicated team of twenty-five people they will ensure you receive all the assistance you
require to select the perfect bottle of wine with which to watch the sun set on their beautiful
island home. As Liam, one the founders of Victoria Wines says "We love it, we drink it, we sell it. Enjoy!"

We have a great vineyard and office team; Nicola - Carl's partner looks after marketing and sales, Lynn - office' Wonder Woman' looks after all our administration, while Cliff, Dan, Chris and Steve keep our vineyard looking the best in town!
It is a fun place to work, and the wines are pretty good too!
